If you’ve been keeping up with Capcom’s Resident Evil 6, you’ll surely have noticed the overwhelming panning of the game from critics, who have called the game a complete mess and a broken shell, virtually unplayable.
Claims like that are unfounded.
The game isn’t perfect, but offers so much more than some are willing to give it credit for.
GF365: "The iconic survival horror franchise Resident Evil boasts a great number of popular and memorable characters. Arguably, Leon S. Kennedy is the most popular and recognizable character aside from Jill Valentine. In this article, we'll be counting down every Resident Evil game Leon is featured in, ranked."
Yeah I figured it would be ordered like this. For me Leons best game was his debut. RE2.
The modern entertainment industry has witnessed the rise of the Resident Evil franchise as one of its most renowned and celebrated multimedia phenomena. With numerous video games released across multiple platforms, it can be daunting for newcomers to determine where to commence their journey. So here is every main mainline Resident Evil Games ranked.
In preparation for the highly anticipated Resident Evil 4 Remake, let’s take the liberty to rank each of the mainline story instalments, providing players with a fundamental comprehension of the Resident Evil universe.
A rough gem that may never get the proper treatment it deserves.
It’s this thing where after enough time people start coming out to defend bad games for some strange reason
I mean hey if you liked it good for you but it was a f****** awful RE game.
Capcom are finally back on track and now people are crying about their shitty mistakes? No thanks.
I'd take a full blown remake of RE6 based around a GREATLY expanded Leon part and make it even more horror.
That might be something I would be interested in, do not care about any of the other parts of that game.
I couldn't even get through the demo.
Years later I bought it for $3 for PC. I played about 5 minutes into it and uninstalled it.
RE6 was better than 5. RE6 just took the series to the conclusion that started with 4.
RE4 was the inaugural title in the action game trilogy.
RE9 will be the likely end of the first person psychological thriller trilogy.
They'll switch it up for RE10 or more likely titled RE-X.
“But all this is solely with respect to how fans felt back in 2013 when Resident Evil 6 had just been released. The game resulted in the series getting indefinitely killed off until 5 years later when we got Resident Evil 7 and balance was restored yet again. ”
1.) Resident Evil 6 came out in 2012, not 2013
2.) A series getting killed off means no titles at all released in a time period. Silent Hill, Dead Space, Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve & Siren fans would love to see how you can say RE was on the same level of dormancy. In that 5 year time period we had a number of remasters that kept the series alive and kicking. RE1 02ms remaster even broke sales records during the period between RE6 and RE7.
3. Way to disrespect Resident Evil: Revelations 2. It was released during that RE6-RE7 period. It along with its predecessor were mainline titles that kept the horror roots of the series alive in comparison to RE5 and RE6. RE: R1 in particular even introduced the ability to walk and shoot into the series, a feature we can all be grateful for that in modern RE titles. The director RE: R1 later went on to direct RE7 and the director of RE: R2 later went to to direct the RE2 & RE4 remakes.
“Resident Evil 6 is often maligned as the worst entry in the Resident Evil series and is cited as the cause behind the long death of the franchise.”
Titles in the Resident Evil series such as Survivor, Gaiden, Dead Aim, Outbreak, Operation Raccoon City, Umbrella Corps, & Resistance we’re received far worse than RE6.
And death of the franchise?
RE6 was still one of the most commercially successful games in the series, guaranteeing the franchise’s future. Compare how underwhelming sales of Dead Space 3, Silent Hill: Downpour. Alone in the Dark: Illumination, Dino Crisis 3, Fatal Frame: Maiden in Black Water, Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2, and Metroid: Other M which caused their respective series to go into a long period of dormancy without any rereleases to even keep activity up.
RE however still had a significant number of titles released and rereleased after RE6. Not only that but development for RE7 started a short time after its predecessor came out, meaning there was never a development time that the series could be considered dead. There hasn’t been a single year that Capcom stopped either developing, releasing, or rereleasing Resident Evil games. Let’s not act like the 5 year period between RE6 and RE7 is such a longer time compared to the 4 year period between RE4 and RE5 as well as RE7 and RE8. We can pretty much expect RE9 in either 2025 or 2026, and you can be certain that Capcom will still release other RE tiles leading up to it
Man go some where with this. Only a few like this game. Why would they remake a garbage game no one likes risking money because it won't sell? RE 6 is dumpster drippings, sorry.
Leon's campaign was actually really good. This game is actually decent, yes it has its faults but it isn't totally broken and garbage. Worth the $60? Not really. My main concern is that it is a Resident Evil game and RE is known for survival horror which was absent from this game. I never ran out of ammo and I felt like I could pretty much fight my way through. There was never really a fear of dying. Overall, I'd give this game at least a 7/10.
People already traded it in for credit....geez.
its ok $30 is a better price for it
That box art reminds me of MW3's box art, but with purple. -_-
Just sayin.
if this game had a different title it would be praised for being a 30 hr campaign. for having 4 different campaigns that intertwine the stories, but since its resident evil it gets crapped on. re WAS known for survival horror and that stopped at re4. sadly its not known for survival horror any more. i would love to see a return to the genre of survival horror. does that mean i want tank controls and awkward camera positions? no but survival horror can still be done.. now was re4 scary at times? yes. was it survival horror? that's questionable, but the complaints that re6 is getting as opposed to re5 is ridiculous. people need to stop their shit and grow up. i normally never back capcom because i hate their money hungry ways of business but re6 was in EVERY WAY an improvement over re5. almost every complaint gamers had about re5 was addressed or improved upon( better a.i partner, actual zombies, longer campaign, walk and shoot varied races.) some people hated how action oriented re5 was and some people liked it. for the people who liked it try chris campaign and for the people who hated it try leons campaign its that simple. now im not saying capcom did a stellar job but compared to 5 they actually listened to most of the complaints with re5. and they did try to have some horror elements in leons campaign which was almost COMPLETELY absent in the entire re5 campaign. so if anything should be bashed its re 5 for being a carbon copy of re4 (gameplay wise)not adding anything new to the formula except co-op
